Midget Bowl IX Information

The Midget Football League of Manitoba is proud to announce that Midget Bowl IX, the league's 9th annual post-season all-star showcase, will take place the afternoon of Sunday, November 6th (1:00pm) at East Side Eagles Field.

Practices are scheduled at the Fort Garry Lions facility (1377 Clarence Ave.) on these dates:

Wednesday, November 2nd (6:30pm-9:00pm) - Player evaluation and instruction

Following Wednesday's practice, players will be divided into two squads- Team Silver and Team Green. Teams will be coached by members of the Winnipeg Rifles Junior Football Club.

This event presents an excellent opportunity to be scouted by the Winnipeg Rifles and Football Manitoba's provincial team program, and prior Game MVPs have gone on to play in the CIS, CJFL, and CFL.

Players are required to supply full equipment for practices and games, including game pants and socks. Game jerseys are owned by the MFLM and will be loaned to the players on game day.

Players are expected to be in attendance for each practice, and if a player is unable to attend he/she must notify his club's head coach who will inform the League. If a player is absent for the first practice and has not informed his/her coach, that player will be assumed to have declined the invitation, and his/her roster spot will be given away to another player.

Barring a major snowstorm or extreme cold, event activities will not be canceled or postponed. Please visit the league's website (www.midgetfootball.ca) daily for status updates the week of the event. Players should arrive 15 to 20 minutes early for each practice, and dress for the weather. Players are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. Locker room facilities will be provided, and athletic therapists will be present at all practices and the game.

Game highlights will be filmed for the league's YouTube channel.
